12 LIU YONG

Liu Yong was nine years old at that time, followed Shu Wan Niang to learn for more than two months, a "three-character Sutra" but only recognized a small part, the small part of the part is always missing.

If Liu Yong is just humble,that hard work can make up for him, she may fight for him, partial Liu Yong personality paranoia, some ambitious, and impatient,is not the material of reading.

Shu Wan Niang said to the patriarch: "Liu Yong and I learn to read, is a few children recognize faster, but also hard, every day before dawn to come to school, when it is dark to go back, in addition to him, there are five children in the village often come, because they are quite old, and there is no foundation, I will teach together, only three sentences a day, after learning more, began to teach a page a day.""

The patriarch was surprised,he only asked Shu Wan Niang Liu Yong a person, do not understand why Shu Wan Niang even the other five children pulled out, is it to let him compare?

Shu Wan Niang continued: "Liu Li, the grandson of the third uncle, is older, the most sensible, and the fastest, every day he and I read repeatedly after remembering the gesture and leave, I thought he did not like to read, but later saw him working in the field when he also had words in his mouth, when he had to spare time often the few words in his hand.""

Patriarch Liu He is very proud: "Liu Li lost his father from an early age, has been very diligent, only four years old will go to the field to help his mother work, he is reluctant to put down the work in the field, but it is already eleven years old, the family is difficult."..."

Shu Wan Niang has some regrets in her heart, because she feels that Liu Li is the most suitable person to take the imperial examination. If Liu family must train a person, see the meaning of the village chief, he does not want to.

Shu Wan Niang paused and said:"Every time Liu Li comes, he will carry a bundle of wood, your grandson Liu Ping is also very good, every time he comes to recognize the word will help me to pick up the water in the tank before leaving, other children are rushing to finish my yard work,"Shu Wan Niang is very embarrassed to smile, " they come, I and my husband are a lot easier.""

He felt that Shu Wan Niang was the daughter of the reader's family. He had not said that Liu Yong would have her plans, so he did not keep asking questions, only when the gossip asked:"You are their husband, they should be filial to you.""

Shu Wan Niang nodded and said: "I know this is their filial piety, but this will inevitably affect Liu Yong, who is focused on learning, and several times when I was not there, Liu Yong felt that they were too noisy in the yard, affecting his ability to read.""

The patriarch smiled stiffly, leaned over and asked, " Are you saying that Liu Yong did not help you to work?""

Shu Wan Niang never spoke ill of people,so his face was a little uncomfortable,but he nodded: "The child has been buying time to practice words, he has been learning from the morning until the evening, even in busy times, so he can read much faster than others, others can not keep up with him, he and I asked him to go on learning alone..."

Shu Wan Niang said: "He was very good with the other five people before, but recently he did not even want to say hello to Liu Li they played, that is, to see my husband, asked about the word recognition, know less than he recognized after not very much to say hello to my husband.""

Shu Wan Niang saw that the patriarch's face became more ugly,he breathed a breath,and said with great heart: "Patriarch, these words I will only tell you,he and I recognize I will naturally teach each other, but you will raise the power of the whole family to support him, Wan Niang can not decide on his future, can only tell you his daily performance.""

The patriarch asked, " He can read words faster than others, so he can remember all the words he has learned before?""

Shu Wan Niang sighed: "This is the second key, he has to remember so many words a day, the next day on the third day to remember, but after five days to see again, may not recognize, but he refused to go back to review, feel a waste of time, it is better to look forward, and then come back to review again."Patriarch, learning is about to go step by step,he is going to run now, how can the foundation be reliable?"

Suddenly speechless, the patriarch got up to salute Shu Wan Niang, " Recently a few children trouble you, I go back to discuss with them.""

Shu Wan Niang dropped off the guest.

Liu Yong is indeed not suitable for the imperial examination, Shu Wan Niang can not even figure out where he is confident that he can rely on the imperial examination to get ahead.

The imperial examinations of this dynasty were very difficult,and only 300 were taken in three years, and the families of the 300 were the majority, and the children of the other ploughing families were also strong opponents. After all, there were educational resources there, and more than five of the 300 were taken at a time.

And in the world, how many cold men to participate in the imperial examination?

Liu Yong only learned to read at the age of nine,not even a book, no book,no good teacher, people are not particularly smart, how can you surpass others?

If he has a tough temperament and a high moral character, Shu Wan Niang may also support him. After all, hard work can make up for him, and high moral character can make another way,but only two months, he will not hide his emotions, and Shu Wan Niang will naturally understand his nature clearly.

Liu Ping, who is only eight years old, will take the initiative to go back to work for his parents and family after remembering those words.

But he did not leave her yard from morning to evening, and squatted under the plane trees in the yard to study, and did not leave until it was dark.

The other five children who came to her to learn to read would help her do what she could, but he did not care that their noise affected him, and even frowned and frowned every time she cooked rice.

Although Shu Wan Niang is supple, but not without temper, she is his husband,he eats and drinks at her house for free,and the result is not happy with her to work?

At that time, Shu Wan Niang was carrying Mu Yangling, and it was when the pregnant woman was most sensitive to thinking, she cried when she was carrying Mu Shi at night.

The most important thing in reading is resilience. Sometimes it takes repeated questioning to do a study,but he refuses to even go back and review it.

But the Liu family is too poor, and providing for one person to study means that for the next 20 years or more they will have to cut back on their food, and the dowry of their children will be reduced, so that they will not be able to marry in a good family.

Shu Wan Niang did not want them to pay such a great price to make such a decision, so she was biased to tell the patriarch of the Liu family some things.
